In the IGCSE and CIE (Cambridge International Education)curricula, Genetics is a part of Biology under the broader topics of inheritance and variation. It is covered in both IGCSE Biologyand AS/A Level Biology. Below is a breakdown of what you can expect in each:

IGCSE Biology (Cambridge - 0610/0970)
The topic of genetics is introduced under the following key areas:

1. Variation and Inheritance
- Genetic variation: Understanding differences caused by genetic and environmental factors.
- Inheritance:
- Definition of key terms: genes, alleles, dominant, recessive, homozygous, heterozygous, phenotype, genotype.
- Monohybrid inheritance (using Punnett squares to predict offspring ratios).
- Concepts of dominant and recessive traits.
- Structure of DNA:
- Basic structure of DNA (double helix) and its role in carrying genetic information.
- Mutations:
- Causes (e.g., radiation, chemicals) and effects of mutations on organisms.

2. Selective Breeding and Genetic Engineering (basic concepts):
- Selective breeding in animals and plants to produce desired traits.
- Introduction to genetic modification (GM), though details are limited in IGCSE.

---

CIE AS and A Level Biology (9700)
At the A Level, genetics is covered in greater depth. Key concepts include:

1. DNA and Protein Synthesis:
- Structure of DNA, RNA, and nucleotides.
- Transcription, translation, and protein synthesis.
- Genetic code and its universal nature.

2. Cell Division:
- Mitosis and meiosis.
- Significance of meiosis in genetic variation (crossing over, independent assortment).

3. Inheritance:
- Mendelian genetics: monohybrid and dihybrid crosses.
- Codominance and multiple alleles.
- Sex-linked inheritance (e.g., haemophilia, color blindness).
- Pedigree analysis.

4. Gene Technology:
- Recombinant DNA technology (genetic modification and cloning).
- Applications of genetic engineering in medicine and agriculture.

5. Mutations:
- Gene mutations and their effects.
- Chromosomal abnormalities.

6. Variation and Selection:
- Natural selection and evolution.
- Role of genetic variation in populations.

---
Summary
- At the IGCSE level, genetics focuses on basic concepts of inheritance, variation, DNA structure, and simple Punnett square problems.
- At the AS/A Level, the depth increases significantly, introducing advanced topics like meiosis, protein synthesis, genetic engineering, and natural selection.

Need help with maths or biology?
As a biomedical scientist with a PhD in Medicine and Health Sciences, I enjoy helping students of all ages to better understand the material and learn with greater confidence. We work at your own pace and in a way that suits your learning style.

How does a lesson work?
In the first session, we identify the main difficulties together. From there, we build up step by step. I encourage questions and provide practical tips and strategies to make studying more effective.

We work through exercises together, discuss examples, and then move on to more challenging problems to deepen understanding. This approach ensures you’re well prepared for your tests and exams.

A positive learning experience
Learning should be enjoyable. With a patient, motivating and clear approach, I create a relaxed environment where it’s okay to make mistakes, and no question is too much to ask — because that’s how real learning happens.

Interested?
Feel free to get in touch for more information or to arrange your first lesson. I’ll be happy to help you move forward!

I teach Biochemistry through a clinically integrated and concept-driven approach designed to build deep molecular understanding while directly linking biochemical principles to human physiology and disease. My instruction emphasizes the translation of biochemical mechanisms into clinical reasoning, enabling learners to interpret laboratory findings, understand pathogenesis, and apply metabolic knowledge in real medical contexts.

Core Areas of Instruction

My teaching covers foundational and advanced topics, including:

Enzymology: Kinetics, inhibition, regulation, and clinical correlations of enzyme dysfunction.

Metabolism: Carbohydrate, lipid, amino acid, and nucleotide metabolism with integrated regulatory control.

Molecular Biology: DNA replication, transcription, translation, epigenetics, and gene regulation.

Bioenergetics: Mitochondrial function, oxidative phosphorylation, and metabolic adaptation.

Clinical Biochemistry: Biochemical basis of disease states such as metabolic disorders, endocrine abnormalities, and inherited enzymopathies.

Laboratory Interpretation: Mechanistic understanding behind biomarkers, metabolic panels, and diagnostic assays.

Teaching Methodology

Instruction is structured to ensure mastery rather than memorization. Students are guided to:

Analyze biochemical pathways as dynamic, regulated systems rather than isolated reactions.

Understand why abnormalities occur at the molecular level in disease.

Apply biochemical reasoning to clinical scenarios and problem-solving exercises.

Develop long-term conceptual retention through pathway integration and mechanistic mapping.

Educational Philosophy

Biochemistry is presented not as an abstract basic science, but as the molecular language of medicine. By integrating physiology, genetics, and pathology into biochemical teaching, students gain the ability to connect molecular events to patient-level outcomes, forming a strong scientific foundation for advanced medical study and clinical practice.

Personalized classes covering syllabus, study methods, and materials in any area of molecular biology and biochemistry. I typically teach at a university level but can also adapt to high school and secondary school biology.

Graduated in Biochemistry from the Autonomous University of Madrid, with a master's degree in molecular biomedicine and currently doing a doctorate in brain metastasis and immunotherapy at the IIBM Sols Morreale.
I have always loved molecular biology, and especially the ability to understand it in detail so I can play with it and help people through research.
In addition to in-person classes, I give talks in high schools. I like to connect students to complex topics like biochemistry and relate them to aspects of their lives, and I like to do it through interesting facts and fun, engaging information.

This class is designed for parents who are seeking a high-quality, structured, and intellectually sound educational experience for their children, combining English language learning with biology and life sciences in a thoughtful and age-appropriate manner.
English is taught at beginner and intermediate levels, with a strong emphasis on conceptual understanding, correct language use, and confidence in communication. Lessons are carefully structured and adapted to each student’s cognitive level, learning pace, and educational needs. Particular attention is paid to building a solid foundation in vocabulary, comprehension, and spoken English, ensuring long-term progress rather than short-term memorisation.
Biology is integrated as a meaningful educational component, not as a superficial add-on. Depending on the student’s age and goals, instruction may range from basic life science concepts to school-level and academic biology, including introductory cell biology and molecular biology topics. Scientific content is presented clearly and logically, fostering analytical thinking while simultaneously strengthening English comprehension in an academic context.
This combined approach supports students not only in improving their English, but also in learning how to understand and articulate scientific concepts in English, an essential skill for modern education. The class is particularly suitable for families who value academic depth, clarity of instruction, and personalised teaching.
